Tiny little place in a little shopping center with the best Mediterranean food. The filet minorn kabobs are so juicy and tender, the gyro is perfect, don't forget their little green sauce with a kick absolutely delicious.

Terrible place, super embarrassed with some friends who were coming to California for the first time, we invited them to eat here, the tables were dirty, I asked in the area where they are ordered that we wanted a table for 5 people and the answer was you choose it, I told them as if they are dirty the tables, they only saw the table, we waited to see if they cleaned it, and no one moved, there were like 5 people working among them, they were talking and they just looked at us and did nothing. The truth is that we turned around and left with terrible service. The manager should have control of the people who work there, they are a bit lazy employees, and then they get upset when you don't leave them a tip. But ask yourselves first, do you give good service to receive it? You should learn from the Asian restaurant next to you, that their service was spectacular, the girl gave excellent service even though they were already going to close.

After my boyfriend took me here the first time, I am now officially obsessed with this place and I want him to take me back every time I get the craving for Mediterranean food ? I've only gotten the chicken kabob wraps (twice) but they're sooooo good. The pita bread is warm and soft, the chicken is tender and flavorful, and the potato chips they come with are spiced in the best way and sometimes crispy, sometimes soft (tbh I like my potatoes both ways so I'm not complaining). There's an outdoor dining area that kinda has romantic vibes and it's really nice to sit outside on a pretty day. The staff have always been nice so far and the service is reasonably fast, plus bonus points bc they have a restroom. I can almost guarantee that your hands will be a saucy mess when you're done with your food (well, at least if you get the wraps ?), so it's great that you can wash your hands! Love this place ?
